Text Box: Vision:  the artwork of Monique Santander

"Monique Santander's compositions originate from the union between order and chaos. They are free and resist being defined in concrete reality. The uniqueness of her work lies in it's spontaneity and whimsy.

“The seeds of energy are released as storms, wild spirals, whirlwinds of color. The work expressed delirium, intense colors reflected in unearthly shapes and microcosmic landscapes."

Museum of Contemporary Art, Santiago de Chile

“Her colorful abstracts do suggest a sense of motion, and of complexity…  The art in the “Summer Breeze” collection is simultaneously calm and powerful—different shades of blue swirl around each other to suggest the tumult of the sea, while simple, stylized people romp on a stark yellow beach.”

 

Jordan Fenster, Long Island Jewish World

“Monique Santander… is a master at converting a moment into a painting. There is a capriciousness in her work which indicates that she is working out new forms and ideas rather than repeating the work of the past.

 

Monique Santander captures something that we convert into something of meaning and value to ourselves.”
